It wouldn't feel like Fall without a trip to the pumpkin patch. There are so many fantastic ones through the Bay Area and I wanted to share some of our favorites with you. I've created this guide featuring 30+ family friendly pumpkin patches across all of the Bay Area, so you can find the one that's right for your family.

Which pumpkin patch is worth your time and money?

Not every pumpkin patch is right for every family. Here are our picks, matched to what your kids are into.

Toddlers, lots to do: Lemos Farm (Half Moon Bay). Our family favorite.
Toddlers and little kids, smaller and probably less crowded: Queen's Pumpkin Patch (Saratoga). Fewer attractions than Lemos, but still a good amount.
Photo ops, live music, and a more traditional patch: Patchen's (Los Gatos). $20 admission.
Traditional patch, free admission: Farmer John's (Half Moon Bay)
Big mazes: Arata's (Half Moon Bay) and Three Nunns Farm (Brentwood)
Kid-friendly rollercoaster: Three Nunns Farm (Brentwood)
Inflatables: ABC Tree Farms (lots across the Bay Area). Mostly an inflatables park rather than a traditional patch.
Free admission: Clancy's (San Francisco), Nicasio Valley (Marin), Farmer John's (Half Moon Bay), G&M Farms (Livermore)
Biggest attractions: Dell'Osso Farm (Lathrop), Spina Farms (Morgan Hill), Webb Ranch (Portola Valley)
